Country Assistance Strategies (CASs) are a central part of the policy process that determines World Bank support to client countries. Each CAS presents a comprehensive picture of a country's economic development, identifies the government's principal concerns and makes a case for new World Bank services. Because of this important role, it becomes necessary to ensure that environmental considerations feature in the CASs and that their role in promoting development outcomes is fully exploited.
The Environment Department at the World Bank is charged with the responsibility of integrating environmental issues into World Bank's Country Assistance Strategies (CASs). In order to achieve this objective, the Policy and Economics Team undertakes a systematic review of draft CASs, providing comments and suggestions for improvement to the CAS teams. In addition to reviewing draft CASs, the Team supports our colleagues in the Regional Environment Departments involved in providing inputs for CASs.
